Three Italian organisations have recently signed an agreement with the goal of promoting equality within the fashion industry. The Italian Fashion Council (Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana, CNMI), nonprofit African Fashion Gate (AFG), and the Italian government's anti-discrimination agency (Ufficio Nazionale Antidiscriminazioni Razziali della Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri, UNAR) have come together to address the need for increased efforts in detecting, identifying, and combating discrimination.
The initiative kicks off with a comprehensive survey aimed at capturing the experiences of women, people of colour, and other underrepresented groups within the industry. Both fashion brands and retailers will undergo scrutiny as part of this process. The announcement was made during a conference at the Fashion Hub (Sala Parlamentino) in Palazzo Giureconsulti on the Tuesday of Milan Fashion Week.
